Grey-breasted Parakeet is one of Brazil's 22 Critically Endangered birdsA new population of the Critically Endangered Grey-breasted Parakeet (Pyrrhura griseipectus) has been found nesting in atypical habitat in the “table mountains” of Quixadá, Ceará, northeastern Brazil. The new location lies at about 80 km from the only known stronghold in the Serra do Baturité to the north. The rocky outcrops amid the vast plains of Ceará, where the nesting sites have been discovered, dominate the city of Quixada where a hen-shaped rock is a local landmark. Even though museum specimens of the species had been collected from the area over 80 years ago, the new population was only rediscovered this year.
